Spot On is a series of community conversations designed to illuminate the major themes of selected plays in Northern Stage’s main stage season. Featuring artists, academics, community leaders, and inspirational figures you will want to hear from, these conversations are curated to spark resonant dialogue among our community members. Conversations take place prior to a Sunday afternoon performance: talks begin at 3 PM and end at 4 PM.
Spot On conversations are free and open to the public, but you must reserve your seat by contacting the Box Office at boxoffice@northernstage.org or by calling (802) 296-7000.
2022-23 Spot On Series:
Sunday, March 12, following the 5 p.m. Performance
Sweat may be set in Reading, Pennsylvania, but many of the issues explored in the play hit close to home here in the Upper Valley. We are honored and excited to have special guest speakers from Dismas House in Harford and the Upper Valley Turning Point discuss their experiences and work with us, addressing the experience of rehabilitation and reintegration that are core to both the play and our community.
Dismas House is a supportive community for former prisoners transitioning from incarceration. Dismas provides transitional housing for formerly incarcerated people and recruits university students and international volunteers to live in the house.
The Upper Valley Turning Point helps advance recovery from substance use disorder and addictive behavior. They offer recovery support services, education, and advocacy for social, cultural, and health care parity with other illnesses.
ADMISSION IS FREE BUT RESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED
